Few actors have as extensive a filmography as Steven Weber, and his best movies and TV shows reveal an astounding level of variety that stands as a testament to the Wings and Chicago Med star's versatility. Born in 1961 with a career that started in 1984, Steven Weber has starred in dozens of movies and TV shows across the decades. He got his earliest experience as a child actor in TV commercials, but his big break came in the 1984 romantic comedy Flamingo Kid.

From this early appearance, Steven Weber went on to star in a variety of movies and TV shows throughout the 1980s, including the acclaimed Vietnam War movie Hamburger Hill. However, it was landing a leading role in the 1990-1997 sitcom Wings that truly kick-started Steven Weber's career, and decades later the actor is still enjoying an incredibly successful and active career. Picking out the best Steven Weber movies and...

Rom-com “Upgraded,” starring Camila Mendes and Archie Renaux, hits the streamer on Friday, while a series adaptation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s steamy spy thriller “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is already taking the world by storm since its Feb. 2 debut with stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine.

LeBron James might be out of the NBA playoffs, but he’s still angling to be a big part of the summer entertainment season. That’s because HBO Max’s list of new releases for July 2021 is highlighted by a very special sequel.

Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres on July 16. will find LeBron teaming up with the Looney Tunes in a Warner Bros. IP-extravaganza. Can ‘Bron and the Looney Tunes beat the Goon Squad before Warner Bros.’ server steals LeBron “Bronny” Jr.’s soul (or something)? Let’s hope so.

Ahead, highlights of the month ahead on HBO Max, plus the full list of July programming.

“No Sudden Move” (July 1): Directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour, Kieran Culkin, Jon Hamm, Ray Liotta, and “Uncut Gems” breakout Julia Fox, among others, the heist thriller is set in 1950s Detroit and “enters on a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document.

Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have announced that they are in development on "Despicable Me 3" and "Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas." "Despicable Me 3" has been scheduled to hit theaters on June 30th, 2017 and will once again follow the adventures of Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, Agnes and the Minions. The first "Despicable Me" movie grossed $543 million on a budget of $69 million. The sequel went on to earn $935 million on a budget of only $76 million. Meanwhile, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" will be a newly-imagined animated version of the holiday classic. It's set to hit theaters on November 17th, 2017 and will be directed by Pete Candeland ("All Dogs Go to Heaven 2" animator) from a script by Michael LeSieur (You, Me and Dupree).

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have made a career out of messing with our heads and giving us one gore-soaked terror tale after another. Now they're looking to screw your kids up, too! Read on for details.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Melton and Dunstan, the writing team behind four of the seven Saw films, are moving into family-friendly territory as they have been tapped to adapt Disney's live-action family film The Stuff of Legend.

The project, which is based on a graphic novel written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III, revolves around a band of toys that journeys into a dark realm to rescue their owner from the infamous Boogeyman. Animator Peter Candeland (All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, "Aladdin") is attached to direct the film, which is being produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman through their Disney-based Mandeville Films.

More as it comes.

Film adaptations of Dr. Seuss' beloved children's books have been pulling in boatloads of cash over the past decade or so. With the exception of the live action The Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers, all of them have been huge box office hits even when receiving mediocre reviews -- including Ron Howard's live action take on the holiday classic How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Of course, CG animation is now the medium of choice for almost every movie aimed at a family audience and with Illumination Entertainment in search of a follow-up to The Lorax, they have decided to turn back to this familiar tale once again. That's right, The Grinch is headed back to the screen for a third time... but will audiences be willing to pay to see it again so soon? According to THR, Universal has hired Peter Candeland to direct a new...

Every Christmas, when all those holiday movies are playing on ABC Family, whose heart doesn't skip a beat when they read, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? It's so exciting - there's Jim Carrey...and that Goth "Gossip Girl" when she was little...and then you remember: the movie is super suckish. 

Universal and Illumination Entertaiment, the animation studio behind Despicable Me, are trying to right the wrong. They'll make a 3D animated version of Dr. Seuss' holiday classic book with Audrey Geisel, the widow of Theodore Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), executive producing the pic. Directing is a guy named Peter Candeland (that's right...candy land!) who worked as an animator on Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas and All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 before turning to directing commericals and music videos. Illumination's CEO Chris Meledandri will produce and he personally has a long standing relationship with the Seuss legacy,...

Los Angeles — He was a tubby tough guy with a pug of a mug, as unlikely a big-screen star or a romantic lead as could be imagined.

Yet Ernest Borgnine won a woman's love and an Academy Award in one of the great lonelyhearts roles in "Marty," a highlight in a workhorse career that spanned nearly seven decades and more than 200 film and television parts.

Borgnine, who died Sunday at 95, worked to the end. One of his final roles was a bit part as a CIA records-keeper in 2011's action comedy "Red" – fittingly for his age, a story of retired spies who show that it's never too late to remain in the game when they're pulled back into action.

"I keep telling myself, `Damn it, you gotta go to work,'" Borgnine said in a 2007 interview with The Associated Press. "But there aren't many people who want to put Borgnine to work these days.

Ever on the hunt for a new epic adventure sure to lure in hordes of movie-going families worldwide, Disney has added another hot property to its development slate. Deadline reports the studio has made a "pre-emptive pitch deal" (whatever the hell that means) with Pete Candeland to adapt the graphic novel The Stuff of Legend. With the help of Abduction scribe Shawn Christensen, Candeland has reportedly spent nearly a year putting together a pitch and visual presentation to prove the property's potential to Disney. Christensen is attached to draft the screenplay while Candeland will direct. This marks Candeland's second deal with Disney, as he was recently hired to helm a live-action feature inspired by their theme park attraction "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride." Though Candeland's background is in animation.having contributed to the beloved Aladdin TV series, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, and the unconventional cartoon documentary Gorillaz: Phase One...

With this week's release of the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad: Season 1 DVD, we got a chance to fulfill a life-long dream and interview Meatwad. He's a wad of meat and a key investigator on the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad (formerly Aqua Teen Hunger Force) if you didn't know! We took some carefully crafted questions we stole from our readers on Facebook and threw them at Meatwad. Well, he threw them back and this is what we got!

How much cumulative time have you spent tumbling inside the dryer?

Guess where I am typing the response to this question from? The 'delicates’ setting, that’s where. It ain’t so bad in here with a flashlight on, which is a privilege I have worked very hard to get.

Have you ever thought about settling down and raising a family?

I don’t want no wife really, but I wouldn’t mind lots and lots of babies.

The Fine Brothers have released a new episode of their entertaining "Spoiler" series. This time they bring us 50 Animated Movie Spoilers in 3 Minutes. Check out the video below and tell us what you think! Just a reminder they do these videos in only one take, which is pretty impressive.

[1] The endearingly geeky, impressively fast-talking Fine Brothers are at it again. The same guys who managed to sum up nearly five decades of Doctor Who [2] in six minutes and every single Best Picture winner through 2009 [3] in five minutes have now released "50 Animated Spoilers in 3 Minutes." (Spoiler alert: They actually make it in two minutes and thirty seconds. But I guess "50 Animated Spoilers in 2 Minutes and 30 Seconds" just doesn't have the same ring to it.) The Fines don't discriminate when it comes to ruining endings -- the video touches upon everything from enduring childhood classics like An American Tail and adult-oriented favorites like South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut to long-forgotten endeavors like Fluppy Dogs. Watch the video after the jump. If you're wondering why no Disney classics were included in "50 Animated Spoilers," it's because the Fine Brothers have already put out a whole other video containing "50 Disney Spoilers in 3 Minutes.

Comedy Central just announced that their next annual Roast will feature none other than 2011′s most ubiquitous tigerblooded human-shaped-chaos-factory, Charlie Sheen. I’m a big fan of all the Comedy Central Roasts, but this time, I’m legitimately concerned — seemingly every Charlie Sheen joke that could’ve ever possibly been made was already Tweeted seventy times in the past couple months, and if everyone’s already sick of “Winning” jokes now, I can’t imagine we’ll be back in the mood for them by the time September rolls around. Because there’s no Charlie Sheen jokes left, we’ve scoured the slightly more obscure corners of Charlie Sheen’s IMDb page to come up with this list of 10 Charlie Sheen Roast Jokes That Haven’t Been Made Yet: 1. Who could forget Charlie Sheen’s portrayal of “Peter” in the 1990 epic Courage Mountain? That movie was huger than Lisa Lampanelli’s vagina!

'Shark Night 3D' and '90210' star Dustin Milligan leads in new Canadian sci-fi thriller 'Repeaters'. The time-repetition flick which brings a darker twist to the classic 'Groundhog Day' style - makes you wonder why it hasn't been done sooner. Anyhoo, a new trailer for the movie has popped up and you can check it out below. Milligan is joined by the gorgeous 'Sex Drive' and 'Final Destination 3' star Amanda Crew (below) in the Carl Bessai helmed project from a script by 'All Dogs Go to Heaven 2'(!) scribe Arne Olsen. Richard de Klerk, Benjamin Ratner, Teach Grant , Alexia Fast, Anja Savcic, Michael Kopsa and Hrothgar Mathews co-star....

Briefly: MGM: re-animate! There was a point where MGM was noted as an animation house that employed talents like Friz Freling and introduced William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. But the old MGM Cartoon Studio is long since shuttered, and the last theatrical feature to come out of MGM Animation was All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, in 1996. Now MGM is going back to animation, and the first feature to be developed is one of the few non-remake projects at the studio: an adaptation of the children's book Punk Farm. Variety [1] says that The Simpsons Movie director David Silverman will rewrite Jim Hecht's script and then direct the project. The story, based on Jarrett Krosoczka's book, is about "five barnyard animals (Sheep, Pig, Chicken, Goat and Cow) who form an underground rock band." The book got no small amount of acclaim, and a sequel (Punk Farm on Tour, in 2007). DreamWorks was once developing a film,...

All Dogs Go to Heaven was direct competition to Disney’s The Little Mermaid in theaters way back in the late ’80s. Both features were released on the same day and audiences headed to the movie with the teen mermaid in a shell-bra rather rather than the gambling mongrel. Though respectable during its theatrical release, the film didn’t showcase Don Bluth might like his previous features An American Tail and The Land Before Time. Still, All Dogs Go to Heaven did amazingly well when it arrived on VHS. It’s new-found popularity helped spawned a TV series and a theatrical squeal.

The film was one of those movies I never got around to seeing. Ever. There’s no particular reason why I unconsciously avoided All Dogs Go to Heaven. Perhaps it was divine intervention that my eyes never landed on the misadventures of Charlie B. Barker (voiced by Burt Reynolds...

A cameo from Charlie Sheen? What is this? National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1?

In what was momentarily hilarious and fantastic news, socyberty reported that actor Charlie Sheen — known primarily from 1990's Men at Work and providing the voice of Charles B. "Charlie" Barkin in 1996's All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 — was looking to play a zombie in Season 2 of AMC's The Walking Dead.Would it be terrific? Yes! But remember, the site claiming that Sheen's reps "confirmed" the appearance is called "socyberty". Heard of it? Me neither, but congratulations on getting yourself plenty of free publicity!

Luckily, producer Gale Anne Hurd was able to set the record straight about the Three for the Road star's possible cameo. "That is insane," Hurd told HitFix. "I'm on Twitter and I just got someone saying, 'Say it isn't so.' We don't even know what the episodes are going to be, much less stunt-casting zombies.

Henry’s Crime

After living in Buffalo the past four years, I was intrigued to see how director Malcolm Venville (44 Inch Chest) would capture the disparate lifestyle and rundown city with his latest feature Henry’s Crime. Starring Keanu Reeves, James Caan and Vera Farmiga in script from Sacha Gervasi (Anvil), he tells the story of a tollbooth worker who goes to jail for a robbery he was mistakenly involved with. After getting out of prison, he plans to do the crime he did the time for.

Venville attempts to balance comedy and drama with very little success. Keanu Reeves simply can’t pull off a dramatic performance. It’s impossible to buy his relationship with Farmiga. His lifeless demeanor matches the dry tone of the film. There is absolutely no style to be found here. What could have been the most interesting aspect, the actual “heist,” is done in...

One of the films that we'll try to check out at the Toronto Festival is a sci-fi flick called "Repeaters," which takes the "Groundhog Day" concept and turns it into a violent thriller. Today we have trailer for it, which you can check out below. Plot: A gritty mind-bending thriller about three twenty-somethings - Sonia, Kyle, Weeks - who find themselves stuck in an impossible time labyrinth, where each day they awaken to the same terrifying day as before. "Repeaters" is directed by Canadian filmmaker Carl Bessai and is written by Arne Olsen (All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Cop and a Half). Trailer:...
